Nat Torkington finishes the year strong

He's certainly not unknown, but I don't think that Nat Torkington's daily blog on the O'Reilly Radar web site, Four short links gets the attention it deserves.

Torkington's daily column is always near the top of my daily must-reads. There are days where nothing he writes about interests me, but usually I find myself digging into several of his items in detail.

And he sustains this quality year round, which is really impressive.

For example, here are his final two columns of 2014:

• Four short links: 30 December 2014: DevOps Security, Bit Twiddling, Design Debates, and Chinese IP
  • DevOoops
  • Matters Computational
  • Top 5 Game Design Debates I Ignored in 2014
  • From Gongkai to Open Source
• Four short links: 31 December 2014: Feudal Employment, Untrusted Computing, Nerd Entitlement, and Paxos Explained
  • Governance for the New Class of Worker
  • Hidden Code in Your Chipset
  • On Nerd Entitlement
  • Understanding Paxos

See? Every single one a winner!

Not every day is as good as these two were, but if you're interested in the world of high technology, and you aren't a regular reader of Torkington's Four Short Links, you should be.
